Leuven School of Governance

The Leuven School of Governance is a research group focused on understanding how organizations and institutions make decisions, develop policies, and influence society. It emphasizes the importance of context, history, and power dynamics in shaping governance processes. Rather than viewing governance as simply rules or organizations, it analyzes the social, political, and cultural factors that impact decision-making and change. Based at KU Leuven University in Belgium, this approach helps policymakers, scholars, and practitioners better grasp complex societal issues and design more effective, inclusive strategies for governance and public administration.
